Package: general
Severity: minor

The media player and my computer keys on the Chicony KU-0420 (aka Targus Slim Internet Media USB Keyboard) are
generating wrong symbols (with XKeyboardConfig 1.8). The first generates
XF86Tools instead of XF86AudioMedia and the second generates XF86Explorer
instead of XF86MyComputer.
The keys generate keycodes 179 and 152. This once worked with XKeyboardConfig 1.5. I reported the bug as a regression in 1.8, but here is the answer from XKeyboardConfig's maintainer: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27606
This system is different from the one on which I verified things were working. The "regression" (on my system's side) may be due to switching from kbd to evdev, if I understand Sergey correctly. But I don't remember which keyboard driver I was using, and trying to use the kbd driver doesn't help (all special keys don't work). If I understand Sergey correctly, this should be assigned to Linux.

This is not debian-user, so closing the bug.

You can use the evtest program to see what scancode the kernel reports
for those keys, and get things fixed in the kernel or udev (see the
files in /lib/udev/keymaps) if they're not correct.

Cheers,
